Emma is finally over being sick (for now) and is weighing in at 17 pounds 9 ounces and 25 inches long. She is pretty tiny baby for her age! Also, Emma now has three teeth, with one more on the way. She is sitting up on her own really well right now, but no crawling yet. But I don't think she is far away from being mobile!
Once again here are Emma's likes and dislikes.
Emma's likes:
-Her jumpers
-Sucking on paper (gross, I know. I try to prevent this one as much as possible)
-Chewing on anything/everything she can
-LOVES bath time (see my last post)
-Sucking her thumb
-Pacifiers (this will be a fun one to wean someday...)
-Breastmilk/Formula (she is getting a combination of these now)
-Being thrown in the air
-Having raspberries blown on her tummy
-LOVES peek-a-boo
-Sleeping in her crib
-Daycare (always seems to be having fun at daycare!!!)
-Swing (still likes her swing every once in a while, not as much as when she was younger)
-Her doll that coos and laughs when you squeeze its tummy
-Most types of solid foods-both homemade and store-bought
-Car rides
Emma's Dislikes:
-Being hungry
-Getting out of the bathtub
-Sometimes she doesn't likes getting dressed/changed
-Doesn't really like being rocked anymore- is usually too tired and crabby and just wants to be laid down in her crib to sleep
As you can see, Emma has way more likes than dislikes. Overall, she continues to be a pretty happy baby and she is becoming so talkative and interactive. She is so much fun to play with these days.
Emma usually is asleep by 6:30-7:00pm, which is fine, but it doesn't give us much time to spend with her in the evening. A lot of evenings we aren't even home until 5:30 and then she's asleep an hour later. Part of the problem is that she doesn't sleep much at daycare-I think she is too stimulated and doesn't get much sleep, which leads to crabby evenings at home and early bedtimes.
However, she usually sleeps until around 3 am, which is 8 hours- then we feed her a bottle and put her back to bed. It works pretty well.
I'm pretty excited for Emma to crawl, but we have a little more baby-proofing to do before then. So, anyway everything is going well in the Nelson household!!
